Title: Pots wanted
Post by: Sarahrose on December 22, 2017, 12:08:20 PM: Hello All,
This is my very first post here!
I am seeking a specific size/shape of terracotta pot for a display I want to put together.
I am having trouble sourcing this pot size and wondered if anyone here had some they could loan/sell me.
The dimensions are 18cm diameter X 13.5cm depth. This is to have a square aquatic pot plunged inside, hidden.
Really appreciate any leads.
Thanks!

Might be handy to know what size the aqua pots you need to disguise will be.???

The dimensions sound like a half pot or azalea pot size. I found some 17cm x 11.5cm and 21cm x 15cm at crocus.co.uk but no 18cm. Seems odd as its 7"diameter but maybe the sizes jump in even numbers? Will let you know if I find any
